You Need an Editor? BUCK YOU! · 8:17pm Oct 16th, 2013
So I was a member of the group Looking for Editors and you know what?
Huge mistake. Why?
1. Not once did I get credit from a single author I helped.
2. Constant complaints from children demanding I be finished with their drivel.
3. Unending attacks on WHY something had to change for the story to work.
4. An eternal misunderstanding between my being an editor and not a proofreader.
5. Spam from authors shoving their stories into every possible category expecting this to speed things along.
6. A wildly cluttered mess that NO ONE could find any sense in due to the lack of any real effort on the author side of things.
Brain: "Okay, I think that'll do for the venting..."
Heart: "We seriously needed that."
Hands: "Does this mean we're going back to RSMC? We LOVE having our own server!"
Penis: "Our enderman farm needs more stairs."
Brain: "Penis, I've been meaning to ask... Why do we have a fetish for using stairs in MC?"
Penis: "IT ALWAYS NEEDS STAIRS! ...Now. We have to go edit that THING Venom calls a medieval castle."
TehCreepN1 is now online.
So are you actually dedicated to being an editor? because later on I am looking to release a FanFic, I can leave credit where needed!

I am, but I'm a bit burnt out on editing anything for this site. I feel terrible since I already agreed to help Somebadauthor with his but I haven't even taken a look at it.
Btw, are you using gdocs or MSword to compose this fic?

Google Docs with sharing, I want to write a draft of the entire story and re-write half of it before I start posting though. I don't want to rush out crappy writing and put stress on editors.
So not anytime soon, I promised myself by the start of next year. We will see...

Not a bad deadline to set yourself. Care to give me a synopsis?

It was based off my first original scrap writing (it is a bit different from this now,) some people had gained interest from it so I decided to pick it up and write again. I am looking to make it a good multi-chapter fic.

I'll peek at it. No promises.
